    Umberto Ecos

    The only work by Eco that is graded is Serendipities at 1480L, this would be somewhere in high school (as early as 9th grade reading level for AP/Advanced students, up to 12th grade for average students.)

    Dostoevsky

    Only around 700-800L, shockingly. The English translation of Crime and Punishment isn’t considered that advanced apparently. I personally wouldn’t think it’s on the same level as Twilight, but that is what the American education system feels about it.

      Thanks but that makes it seem even more off IMO. I haven’t read serendipities though, and some of his works are easier than some others who are wild IMO. Some Dostojevsky are wild too, some just complex because there are 300 intervening people 😁
